VVD - "It was always Liverpool"

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has signed a new two-year contract with the club.

The 33-year-old centre-back's previous contract had been set to expire at the end of the season.

But the Dutchman has joined forward Mohamed Salah, who signed a two-year extension last week, in committing his future to the club.

"It was always Liverpool," said Van Dijk, who had been linked with a move to Paris St-Germain.

"That was the case. It was always in my head, it was always the plan and it was always Liverpool."

The Dutchman, who has made 314 appearances for the Reds, was named Liverpool captain in 2023 following Jordan Henderson's departure.

"There wasn't any doubt in my head that this is the place to be for me and my family," said Van Dijk.

"I'm one of Liverpool. Someone called me the other day an adopted Scouser – I'm really proud to hear these things, it gives me a great feeling.

"It's a proud feeling, it's a feeling of joy. It's just incredible.

"The journey I've had so far in my career, to be able to extend it with another two years at this club is amazing and I'm so happy."

Van Dijk has been with the club since joining for £75m from Southampton in January 2018.

Since then, he has helped Liverpool win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup and EFL Cup twice.

Under Liverpool manager and fellow Dutchman Arne Slot, who is in his first season in the role, Van Dijk has been key in helping the Reds close in on a record-equalling 20th English league title.

Van Dijk said in March that he had "no idea" if he would remain at Anfield.

But earlier this month, he said that there had been "progress" in negotiations with the club over a new contract.

With new deals confirmed for Salah and Van Dijk, the future of defender Trent Alexander-Arnold remains unresolved.

The England defender, who returned to Liverpool training on Wednesday after a month out because of injury, is out of contract in July and has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah return to the club early

Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah will return to the club earlier than expected after being released from international duty.

Netherlands captain Van Dijk was sent off during his side's 1-1 draw with Hungary on Friday and is suspended for Monday's Nations League match against Germany.

Egypt captain Salah scored in a 2-0 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier victory over Mauritania in Cairo on Friday.

He had been expected to feature in Tuesday's return fixture but, like Van Dijk, he has been released early.

It is a boost for Liverpool manager Arne Slot, whose side host Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday, 20 October (16:30 BST).

The Reds went into the international break at the top of the table, one point above champions Manchester City.

Contract situations of trio not a distraction

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has dismissed suggestions the contract situations of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah could be a distraction.

Right-back Alexander-Arnold, centre-back Van Dijk and forward Salah are all in the final 12 months of their deals.

Salah, speaking after the win at Manchester United prior to the international break, said "nobody in the club talked to me yet about contracts".

But Slot said: "It's again the boring answer you are going to get from me as long as there is no news. We don't talk about contract situations here.

"Is it a distraction? No, it isn't because I'm fully focused on the individuals and the team.

"They are part of the team and I'm trying to work with them in the best possible way to get the best out of them. It's not a distraction for me at all."

Liverpool have won their opening three league games under Slot - who succeeded Jurgen Klopp in the summer - and host Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

They will be without attacking midfielder Harvey Elliott, who fractured his foot while on England Under-21 duty.

"Harvey's injury is, of course, a big disappointment for him but also for us," said the Dutchman.

"He didn't play that much in the first three games but he showed himself really well in pre-season. It's a blow for the both of us.

"If he had stayed fit, he would have had a lot of playing time in the upcoming fixtures but now he isn't and that gives a chance to someone else," added Slot, who said new signing Federico Chiesa has trained "three or four times" with the first team and is contention to be involved against Forest.

During the international break, Reds goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher said he wants to leave Liverpool to "be a number one" as the club looks as if they have chosen to go "in a different direction" by agreeing a deal to sign Valencia keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili next summer.

"I would be really worried if a player came out and said 'I don't care about playing first-team football'," said Slot. "That would be a bigger worry for me.

"It's normal they want to play but it's also normal that a club like this that tries to compete for trophies has more than 11 players who can play.

"He's shown many times in the past few years, and even in pre-season, that he's ready whenever we need him.

"It's a good thing he wants to play. Who knows if he'll play for us in the future. At this moment, it's quite clear that Alisson is the number one but last season he played many games.

"So, it's a normal situation for a player to be in if you're not playing - that you want to play - but he handles that situation really well."

Gakpo on target as seven Reds feature for their countries

Cody Gakpo scored for the Netherlands on Saturday night as seven Liverpool players were involved in UEFA Nations League action for their countries.

The Dutch earned a 5-2 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in Eindhoven, with Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch and Virgil van Dijk all starting.

Gakpo netted from close range to finish off a slick team move to make it 3-1 on the night, before the attacker departed shortly after the hour mark, with his Reds teammates finishing the full game.

The match saw captain Van Dijk bring up the milestone of 75 international caps, too.

Earlier in the day, Trent Alexander-Arnold completed the full 90 minutes at right-back for England, with the Three Lions defeating goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher’s Republic of Ireland 2-0 in Dublin.

Kostas Tsimikas featured for the full match and helped keep a clean sheet in Greece’s 3-0 win over Finland, while Dominik Szoboszlai captained Hungary, who were beaten 5-0 by Germany in Dusseldorf.

Gakpo man of the match as Holland sweep aside Romania

Cody Gakpo scored his third goal of Euro 2024 and provided an assist to help the Netherlands advance to the quarter-finals with a 3-0 defeat of Romania.

The Liverpool forward opened the scoring 20 minutes into Tuesday’s last-16 clash in Munich, driving into the box from the left flank and firing a finish inside the near post.

That goal moved Gakpo up to joint-top scorer at the tournament so far, alongside Georges Mikautadze (Georgia), Jamal Musiala (Germany) and Ivan Schranz (Slovakia).

Gakpo played 84 minutes before being replaced, while Virgil van Dijk completed the whole game as Dutch captain and aided in securing a clean sheet.

Both almost delivered another goal in the second half, a Van Dijk header bouncing off the post and a Gakpo effort from close range ruled out for offside.

The Netherlands finally doubled their advantage seven minutes from the end, when Gakpo brilliantly kept the ball in play as he dribbled to the byline, cutting a pass back for Donyell Malen to convert.

And Malen then swept in his second of the tie in stoppage time for Ronald Koeman’s side, for whom Reds midfielder Ryan Gravenberch remained on the bench.

Next up for the Netherlands is a last-eight showdown with Turkiye at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, which will kick off at 8pm BST on Saturday (July 6).

“I think we played a good game and showed a great reaction from the last game [a 3-2 defeat by Austria in the group stage],” said Gakpo post-match.

“I am very pleased. Especially after the last game we needed a reaction and today was a good step in the right direction.

“We talked a lot about the aggression, the intensity and defending like a team. It was a good step and I am very happy we won.”

Gakpo scores in Netherlands defeat to Austria

Cody Gakpo was on the scoresheet for the Netherlands as Group D concluded at Euro 2024 on Tuesday afternoon.

The Liverpool forward netted early in the second half for his country – who were captained by Virgil van Dijk, with Ryan Gravenberch an unused substitute – as they were defeated 3-2 by Austria in Berlin.

The Dutch fell behind in the sixth minute as a result of a Donyell Malen own goal, but Gakpo brought them level with his second strike at the tournament.

He collected a pass to the left of the box, stepped inside a defender and curled an assured finish into the opposite corner of the net.

Austria regained the lead just shy of the hour mark, however, as Romano Schmid met a cross with a header that went in via Stefan de Vrij.

The Netherlands restored parity for a second time in the game when Memphis Depay controlled a knockdown and looped the ball home.

But Austria then found a winner, with Marcel Sabitzer thumping in from a narrow angle – a goal that gained his nation top spot in the section and consigned the Dutch to third place.

Elsewhere in the same group, Reds defender Ibrahima Konate was an unused substitute for France as they drew 1-1 with Poland in Dortmund, where Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski each scored penalties.

France finished in second spot and therefore know they will face the to-be-confirmed Group E runners-up on July 1.

As a best third-placed finisher, meanwhile, the Netherlands must now wait to discover their opponents in the last 16.
